Any chance this is an e-machines box? Some of them are know for this
sort of problem (My ex-roommate had this problem, and I've seen it
with a few other e-machines boxes when I was working at a repair
shop...plus it's pretty well documented on the web). The Diagnosis was
generally a bad power supply.
